The Facts: Dorsett is signing with the Jaguars, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Diehards Line:New HC Urban Meyer wants speed and gets it. ... Signed to a one-year contract by the Seahawks last March, Dorsett performed well during the first couple weeks of Seattle's training camp, looking every bit the part of a viable third receiving option behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Unfortunately, he aggravated a foot injury during the team's first mock scrimmage and despite numerous attempts to come back, he landed on injured reserve and eventually underwent surgery, missing the entire 2020 season. Once a first-round pick for the Colts, Dorsett has never lived up to expectations despite possessing rare athletic traits and blazing track speed. In five NFL seasons before signing with Seattle, he surpassed 500 receiving yards just one time and only had one season with more than three touchdown receptions, yielding pedestrian production despite playing with Andrew Luck and Tom Brady. While he was hindered in part by the offensive scheme, he barely averaged 12 yards per reception in his three seasons with the Patriots and didn't develop in the short-to-intermediate game as envisioned. Now the Jaguars will try to get cash in on that potential.
